Fantasy Tip: Green hasn't had a 100-yard game in four straight outings, although he is working on a five-game streak with four or more receptions. He continues to be a decent low-end WR1 in most fantasy leagues, although he was obviously drafted for much more production.

Fantasy Tip: It was Green's first multi-touchdown effort of the campaign, and for some owners, it could not have come at a bigger time, being the last game of the fantasy regular season in most leagues. Green continues to perform like an elite WR1, which has been the case pretty much since he first entered the league in 2011. Just keep riding his greatness, as he's comfortably on pace for his sixth 1,000-yard season in seven tries.

Fantasy Tip: Green has caught two touchdowns in the last three games and has been targeted at least seven times in four of his last five games. He should be considered a No. 1 or No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues this week.

Fantasy Tip: Green should be able to play in Week 13 as long as he can recover from his illness. He has posted two touchdowns in the last three games and should be at least a No. 2 fantasy receiver this week even though he is facing a tough Pittsburgh Steelers pass defense.

Fantasy Tip: Green's modest two-game scoring streak is over. It was just the third time he has been blanked in the touchdown department over the past nine outings. He'll look to get back into the end zone in Week 13 when the Steelers visit on Monday night.

Fantasy Tip: Green has topped five catches just twice this season, but he has bolstered his stat lines with six touchdowns in the last eight games. It hasn't been Green's best season, but he is still a WR1.

Fantasy Tip: Green picked up his third 100-yard game of the season and is still one of the best receivers in the NFL. He will have a tough matchup in Week 11 but should still be a No. 1 or No. 2 fantasy receiver.

Fantasy Tip: Green cost the Bengals and fantasy owners alike because of his ejection yesterday. The fact that he's not suspended is somewhat of a surprise. He can make up for lost time in Week 10 in a solid matchup versus the Tennessee Titans, who have already allowed double-digit touchdowns (10) to wide receivers this year. Keep Green in those starting lineups.

Fantasy Tip: Green struggled against what has been a suspect Indianapolis secondary, but the weather conditions weren't ideal, either. The good news is that Green was at least able to salvage the stat line with the touchdown or the day would have been a total disaster. He'll look to get untracked in Week 9 at Jacksonville.

Fantasy Tip: It was the first time all year that Green has been held below 60 yards, but he still led the team in receiving. The entire Cincinnati offense should perform better against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8, and Green should go back to putting up WR1 numbers.

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green earned the highest passer rating for all receivers when pressed at the line of scrimmage in Week 5 at 153.3, per NFL Next Gen Stats.

Fantasy Tip: To put that number into some perspective, 158.3 is considered a perfect passer rating in the NFL. The Miami Dolphins' Jarvis Landry came in second at 129.2. It's more proof Green is about as good as it gets at receiver and disproves the notion the angular 29-year-old isn't strong enough to beat physical coverage. He's obviously an every-week starter in fantasy.

Fantasy Tip: The highlight of the afternoon was a 77-yard touchdown reception, vindication after he lost a fumble and helped contribute on two other turnovers. He showed why he remains an elite fantasy receiver, playing well despite rainy conditions for most of the game. You'll need to make alternate plans in Week 6, as the team is on a bye.

Fantasy Tip: Green has caught at least five passes in every game this season and has caught a touchdown pass in each of the last two games. He can be considered a No. 1 or No. 2 fantasy receiver next week against the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Tip: Green's status as the top option in the passing game is unquestioned, but it was still good to see the Cincinnati offense look competent for the first time all season. Green remains a WR1 in all formats.

Fantasy Tip: Green's final line isn't terrible, but 50 of those 67 yards came on one catch, leaving just 17 for the other four (4.3 YPC). He'll get his next chance to break out against a revamped yet unproven Green Bay Packers secondary in Week 3. He's too talented to keep out of your lineup, and you certainly wouldn't want to sell low on him now. Stay the course.

Fantasy Tip: A couple of times Andy Dalton got in trouble trying to force it into his favorite receiver and the results weren't terribly favorable. The Cincinnati offense was terrible, getting shut out in the loss, but Green still wasn't a total disaster from a fantasy perspective.

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green saw a 32.3-percent target share in Weeks 1 through 10 before he was lost for the season with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Tip: Much of Green's heavy involvement had to do with the prolonged absence of Tyler Eifert as well as the struggles of the running game and the departure of Marvin Jones as well as Mohamed Sanu. Owners should expect the target share to fall back down closer to the 25-percent range - more typical for elite receivers - following the return of Eifert as well as the additions of John Ross and Joe Mixon. He remains firmly in the WR1 conversation, however.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Cody Core is seeing the benefits from the playing time he received last year when WR A.J. Green was injured, according to head coach Marvin Lewis. "It gives him the confidence to come out and work in the offseason and know that he can achieve higher goals," Lewis said.

Fantasy Tip: Playing seven more seasons would put Green at a total of 13 seasons. That would be quite a career for one of the game's top receivers. Green has dealt with injuries over the course of his six seasons so far, especially last year, but he remains a top five fantasy receiver and deserves to be selected in the late-first or early-second round.

Fantasy Tip: The 28-year-old Green had 66 receptions, 964 receiving yards and four touchdowns through 10 games this season. He will be completely healthy for the start of the 2017 campaign and should be viewed as a high-end WR1 in all fantasy formats.

Fantasy Tip: Green declared himself ready to return from a hamstring injury prior to the Week 16 contest, so he is likely unhappy about being held out the final two games and missing out on a chance to reach 1,000 yards. The decision is understandable considering the Bengals have nothing to play for, and Green will still be a WR1 when 2017 rolls around.

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green can become the second wide receiver in NFL history to attain 1,000 yards receiving in his first six seasons. Green needs 36 yards in Week 17 to accomplish the feat.

Fantasy Tip: It would be even more impressive if Green gets to 1,000 yards this year considering the fact that he has only played in 10 games so far. He's a perennial WR1 and should be drafted as such for the 2017 season.

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (hamstring) is not playing in Week 16 because the ownership decided to hold him out, according to sources. Green was not happy with the decision and it is not known known if he is still with the team or if he flew back to Cincinnati.

Fantasy Tip: Green is not expected to play again this season, so owners should look for other options to use in their lineups. Green should be fine for next season and will be a No. 1 receiver in all leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (hamstring) is not expected to play in the team's Week 17 game, according to a source. He has already been ruled out for Week 16.

Fantasy Tip: It appears that the Bengals are being cautious with Green even though he thinks he can play. Owners can keep an eye on the story next week but should look for other options to use in their lineups.

Fantasy Tip: Green was a limited participant in the team's first two practice sessions during the week before practicing fully Friday, Dec. 23. However, the Bengals have decided to hold him out of action as a precautionary measure. WRs Tyler Boyd and Brandon LaFell will continue to see a decent number of targets and should be viewed as low-end flex options for deep seasonal leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Green expects to play in Week 16 but likely will receive limited snaps because he has missed multiple weeks. Owners can consider Green as a risky No. 3 receiver but should not count on a big game from him.

Fantasy Tip: With so many key offensive players banged up, the Bengals certainly need him. However, he has been limited in practice all week and there's virtually no chance Cincinnati will push him to play full-time snaps in a meaningless contest after sitting out the previous four games. Owners who made it this far without Green probably have enough options at receiver to leave him on the bench during fantasy championship week.

Fantasy Tip: Green probably will see limited snaps if he is active for Week 16 because he has missed several games because of the injury. Green should still see some targets during the game, but owners should consider him as a No. 3 receiver.

Fantasy Tip: Green has a decent chance to play in Week 16 if he does not suffer any setbacks. He probably would receive limited snaps if he is active in Week 16 and should be considered a risky No. 3 receiver in leagues.

Fantasy Tip: It's fair to consider Green a top-five player at the position, and the signs are good for him to play this weekend. However, he has been out for a month. Expectations should be tempered from his usual WR1 stature against the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Tip: Cincinnati's tentative plan is for Green to return to action in Week 16 versus the Houston Texans. He had been listed as doubtful on the injury report despite participating in all three practice sessions during the week on a limited basis. WRs Tyler Boyd and Brandon LaFell are low-end flex options for deep seasonal leagues, while TE Tyler Eifert should see a decent number of targets inside the red zone.

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 16. He has been listed as doubtful for Week 15.

Fantasy Tip: Green probably needs another week of practice before he is ready to play, so Week 16 is a more realistic return date for Green. Brandon LaFell and Tyler Boyd will receive most of the work at receiver but should only be considered flex option in deeper leagues.

Fantasy Tip: It's not a surprise, but limited practices this week put him in a good position to return for Week 16 versus the Houston Texans. Tyler Boyd and Brandon LaFell will continue to serve as the starting wideouts and have some low-end flex appeal, while Tyler Eifert should hog the majority of targets inside the 20.

Fantasy Tip: He did limited work yesterday, and he'll probably be limited again today. The Pittsburgh Steelers have been good against opposing WRs the last five weeks. Green will be a risky option if he suits up, and he can't be counted on as your first option.
